AR 190-56
The Army Civilian Police and Security Guard Program

* Exempts guards covered under the
Personnel Reliability Program who are performing duties associated
with nuclear, biological select agents and toxins, and chemical-surety
material (including nuclear reactors) from the requirements of the
Individual Reliability Program (para 3-2).

* Requires all newly hired Department
of the Army civilian police to attend the Civilian Police Academy
at the U.S. Army Military Police School (para 4-2).

This regulation establishes the Department
of the Army Civilian Police and Security Guard (DACP/SG) Program.
It assigns responsibilities and establishes policy, standards, and
procedures for the effective implementation of the DACP/SG Program.
This regulation applies to all Department of the Army civilian personnel
in career series 0083 and 0085 and to contract security personnel
employed by the U.S. Army.

Basic character traits of honesty, courtesy, tact, cooperation, personal appearance, and bearing are important factors required of civilian police and security guards. Personal qualities of good conduct and character, integrity, dependability, and good mental and physical fitness also are required of such personnel.

a.
The DACP/SGs will be required to meet the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) qualification standards for police or guard positions and conditions of employment found in
appendix B
. Failure to meet these qualification standards and conditions of employment will be a basis for non-selection of an applicant or for proposing removal of a DACP/SG incumbent per applicable Federal and/or agency regulations. The OPM qualification standards for the police and guards and conditions of employment contain qualification requirements for DACP/SG positions. Job-related functions, such as strenuous activity, physical exertion, physical ability, and levels of stress as they pertain to a specific job will be considered for both routine and emergency operations. Physical requirements will be per OPM qualification standards, conditions of employment, and the command job analyses and will be standardized at each installation or activity. Positions requiring more stringent physical demands, such as special reaction team, will be supported by valid job analyses and written performance plans approved by the Office of the Provost Marshal General. In preparing job analyses, careful consideration must be given to whether waivers of physical demands can be considered. For those positions requiring more stringent physical demands, meeting the physical requirements is a condition to retain that pay level.

(2)
Certifying officials (COs), discussed in
chapter 3
of this regulation, will implement a tracking system to ensure records of personnel hired under such exceptions to policy are monitored. The CPAC, or the organization's security manager, as appropriate, will forward the ANACI results to the CO on receipt.

a.
AR 380-67
will be used to determine eligibility
for employment or retention of DACP/SGs. The provisions of AR 380-67
apply to all DACP/SGs.

b.
All DACP/SG candidates for the IRP must undergo drug
testing per
AR 600-85
before being certified into the IRP.
Contractor personnel will undergo drug testing before the CO may certify
contract personnel into the IRP, consistent with the terms of the
contract. Civilian employees in the IRP will receive drug testing
per AR 600-85. Contractor personnel in the IRP will undergo
periodic testing on a random basis to ensure the deterrent value of
testing, consistent with the terms of their contract.

The CO will use the reliability
factors in
AR 380-67
in making determinations with respect to
an individual's eligibility for employment, retention in sensitive
duties, or eligibility for access to classified information.

The CO will establish a system for
periodic review (at least annually) of employee records to ensure
any adverse information added to the file after initial certification
is reviewed and considered. The CO will review available personnel
records, and those records obtained as the result of the employment
security screening procedures (see
chap 2
), and make a suitability
re-determination. The purpose of this review is to determine if information
contained in these records may preclude assignment or continued assignment
to DACP/SG and CSG positions. During this review, the CO will conduct
an IRP review and briefing with the employee to reaffirm the program
standards and continued evaluation.

a.
A licensed medical provider will review the results
of the initial and periodic medical evaluations (see para
2-2
b
) to determine if the employee can take the
PAT and perform the essential job functions, with or without reasonable
accommodation. A competent medical authority (a licensed physician,
physician's assistant, or nurse practitioner) may conduct the
evaluation, but if the evaluation is not conducted by a physician,
then the supervising physician (herein referred to as the examining
provider) must review and evaluate the results, and countersign to
make the evaluation valid. For DACP/SG, when the examining provider
is not in federal service, the evaluation must be forwarded to a physician
having federal status for review and approval per
appendix C
.

b.
The
DA Form 5557
will be used to record screening and
evaluation of Army employees and contract personnel. Such information
will be maintained per
AR 25-400-2
, and will be safeguarded
per
AR 340-21
,
AR 25-55
, and Public Law (PL) 104-191
(The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act).

The requirements of this chapter will be incorporated in the SOW or PWS for all CSG services. To avoid inconsistencies between the contract PWS and this regulation, specific IRP standards should not be included in the PWS. Instead, the PWS should require compliance with the standards contained in the most current version of this regulation.

The effectiveness and professionalism of the DACP/SG and CSG are directly related to the training program. Effective training depends on leadership, innovative planning, and efficient use of resources.

Each individual who performs civilian
police and security guard tasks or duties will, prior to assignment,
be trained and qualified to perform such tasks or duties. Basic police,
security guard, and CSG training is as follows:

Training for DACP/SG supervisors
specific to the job series will be conducted using the material developed
by USAMPS through an online distributive learning course. Personnel
selected for this training will access the distributive learning course
through the Army Training Requirements and Resources System. All
DACP/SGs in supervisory positions must complete this training within
90 days of appointment to a supervisory position. Current DACP/SG
supervisors must complete this training within six months of publication
of this regulation.

Training support is available to
PMs, DESs, designated command security and law enforcement representatives,
training managers, and students to enhance their training programs
and workforce professionalism. The following is a list of training
support sites:

The training and qualifications of each individual will be documented by the training manager or training supervisor and these documents will be readily available for review and inspection. In the case of CSG, such documentation will be made available to the PM, DES, or designated command security and law enforcement representative for review and approval prior to assignment of the CSG. Contractor training courses and supporting material will be available for the PM, DES, or designated command representative's review. Documentation of all training for DACP/SGs and CSGs will be maintained on file for as long as the individual is employed by or assigned at the installation. A copy of the records will be forwarded to follow on installations. Training rosters or logs will be retained indefinitely, unless otherwise stated in this regulation.

This chapter prescribes the authority
of DACP/SGs and CSGs performing law enforcement or security functions
on Army installations and activities. The
DODI 5200.08
; 50 USC 797;
and 50 USC 781 et seq. (The Internal Security Act of 1950) require
DOD installation commanders to take reasonably necessary and lawful
measures to maintain law and order and protect installation personnel
and property. Based on this authority, the installation commander
has the authority to direct law enforcement and security activities
on the installation.

This chapter prescribes the DACP/SG uniform and directs its wear by DACP/SGs. This chapter applies to civilians hired directly by the DA as police or security guards in positions covered by OPM Position Classification Standards. Installation, activity, and stand-alone commanders may authorize other personnel who supervise DACP/SGs, such as civilian PMs, DESs, and designated command security and law enforcement representatives, to wear the DACP/SG uniform. The CSG also will adhere to appearance standards as directed below.

The DACP/SGs and CSGs will maintain
a high standard of dress and appearance at all times. Properly fitted
uniforms will be clean, serviceable, and pressed. Personnel must project
a professional image. Trouser legs and the sleeves of shirts and blouses
will be creased. Ironing other lines or creases into the shirts or
trousers is not authorized. Although some uniform items are made of
wash-and-wear fabrics or treated with a permanent press finish, some
pressing may be required to maintain a neat, professional appearance.
Articles carried in pockets (for example, wallets, checkbooks, combs,
and keys) will not protrude from the pocket or present a bulky appearance.
Do not attach items, such as keys and key chains, to belt loops or
belts unless required for duty. Cell phones may be attached to the
belt. While in uniform, personnel will not place their hands in their
pockets, except briefly to place or retrieve objects. The DACP/SGs
and CSGs will keep uniforms fastened closed. Metallic devices, such
as metal insignia, belt buckles, and belt tips, will be kept polished
and free of scratches. The insignia will be replaced when it becomes
unserviceable or no longer conforms to standards. Foot gear will be
clean and polished (if applicable to component materials).

The PM, DES, or designated command security and law enforcement representative will prescribe the wear of security identification badges for restricted areas in accordance with applicable regulations. Personnel will not wear security identification badges outside the area for which they are required. Personnel will not hang other items from the security badge(s). The manner of wear will be determined by the organization that requires wear of the badges.

Ballistic-resistant personal body
armor will be worn while on duty whenever armed. The DA standard body
armor is the current National Institute of Justice standard for personal
body armor. Other protective clothing and equipment may be issued
when approved by the installation or activity commander. Items considered
protective clothing and equipment include, but are not limited to,
wet-weather gear, reflector traffic vest, oleoresin capsicum spray
(no tear gas) and holder, nightstick or police baton with holder,
handcuffs with holder, flak vest, Kevlar helmet, face shield, and
protective mask. The DACP/SGs may be issued, at local expense, special
items of equipment based on locally dictated requirements. Such items
will be related to local environmental considerations, such as extreme
cold weather. Policy and procedures are contained in
AR 385-10
for providing protective clothing and equipment against environmental,
physical, and chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear hazards.
These items will be hand receipted to users and will be returned to
the U.S. Government when no longer needed or unserviceable.

All personnel will maintain good
daily hygiene and wear their uniforms so as not to detract from an
overall professional appearance. Tattoos or brands prejudicial to
good order and discipline are prohibited. The PM, DES, or designated
command security and law enforcement representative will determine
the acceptability of tattoos or brands. Examples of tattoos detracting
from a professional appearance include


The examining provider will be advised by the PM, DES, or designated command representative of the essential job functions and the annual PAT. The advisory will be provided to the examining provider, in writing, together with a copy of this appendix and the MEDCOM guidance on cardiovascular evaluation.

The examinee will possess the mental, sensorial, and motor skills required to perform the job duties essential for all DACP/SG, as well as those additional essential functions derived from the local specific job task analysis developed for each DACP/SG. Any specific job task analysis will be submitted to the examining provider prior to each medical evaluation.

The PAT serves to provide a measure
of the individual's preparedness to successfully accomplish the essential
functions of the position. This appendix directs the conduct and administration
of PATs for DACP/SGs and CSGs. Administer physical ability testing
per this appendix for all DACP/SG and CSG personnel. In order to meet
the condition of employment standard, the individual tested must successfully
pass the established standard for each of the two elements of the
PAT.

Alternate PAT events are designed for current career employees who are in the post-academy career phase rather than new hires. New hires are required to pass the primary PAT as described above. The alternate PAT described below is permitted for current DACP/SGs and CSGs with long-term medical restrictions or disabilities who cannot perform the run or pushup events, but can otherwise perform the essentials functions of the job.

The DACP/SG and CSG personnel who are temporarily, medically restricted from performing the functions of their job, to include taking the PAT, will be exempt from taking the PAT for the duration of the temporary medical restriction. Once the temporary medical restriction has been lifted and the individual has been medically cleared to return to full duty, he or she will have 90 days to pass the PAT.

The purpose of this checklist is
to help PMs, DESs, and designated command security and law enforcement
representatives evaluate the key internal controls outlined below.
It is not intended to cover all controls. It is to be answered in
a Yes, No, or not applicable (NA) format. A negative response "No"
is to be explained at the end of the question. The reference points
in this regulation are provided after each question for user convenience.

Answers must be based on the actual
testing of key internal controls (for example, document, analysis,
direct observation, sampling, simulation, exercise, other). Answers
indicating deficiencies must be explained and corrective action indicated
in supporting documentation. These key internal controls must be evaluated
formally at least every two years. Certification that the evaluation
was conducted must be accomplished on
DA Form 11-2
(Internal
Control Evaluation Certification).

The PMG is a principal officer
on the Army Staff per
DA General Order 2012-01
. The PMG is the
principal advisor to the Secretary of the Army and special staff officer
for all matters pertaining to law enforcement, physical security,
antiterrorism, customs, confinement, use of military police resources,
and conduct of military police combat, combat support, and combat
service support operations. The mission of the PMG is to provide a
safe and secure environment in which to live and work. This mission
includes protection of life and property, the enforcement of laws
and regulations, and the preservation of good order and discipline.
